I did my first fifty mile ride today. It was an organized ride in Salado, Tx. Lots of fun and really not quite as difficult as I had built it in my mind. Three hours and thirty-six minutes of actual saddle time with a total ride time of three hours and forty-eight minutes. Just had to tell someone, now i think I will be able to get that century in this year.

Congrats to ya! Organized rides are alot more fun than solo. Go get that century now.

Congratulations! Seems like it has always looked hilly in that area when I drove through on the freeway.

Thanks, it was a little more vertical than I am used too. The downhill made it much more fun and worth the climbs. Congrats on your metric century, saw your post farther down the page.

Good job Tex. I did my first century after doing a 40 miler, so you should have no problems. Keep it up!!!
